The addition of a good high quality gas shock designed for trucks will help the ride quality greatly. I am not too sure, from past experience, that an air shock will do the same.

Springs are often overlooked and do contribute to the overall ride and handling of the vehicle.

I have front and rear sway bars on my '65 C-10 LWB and would never go back to not having any.

I have a Helwig on the rear and a factory bar on the front from a later model C-30 dually.

Can't recommend sway bars, in conjunction with good suspension components, enough.
